“Darcy was absolutely amazing. She watched my dog Stella for me on my wedding day, Stella was in the wedding and Darcy came to the venue and picked her up for me! We were so stressed about want to do with Stella after the ceremony and she made it ten times easier and stress free. Definitely book her for all your furry friend needs!”


“Katie is great with our dogs! She is very kind and sweet. She is very quick to respond and send us picture and video updates. She worked great with our two crazy dogs who had to be kept separated due to behavior issues and she adapted to the situation very well. She has now watched our dogs twice & we will certainly ask her in the future! Highly recommend Katie!”


“Deborah did a wonderful job of taking care of our dogs and tortoise while we were gone. She sent photos and videos everyday and she went above and beyond by cleaning up before we returned, collecting mail, and making our dogs feel extra loved. I highly suggest Deborah for your dog sitting needs.”


“Abbigail was amazing! She gave my fur babies so much love and attention! She sent frequent updates with pictures and videos. I’m beyond happy with her services! If you’re looking for a great sitter for your furry friends, she’s definitely the girl for you!”


“We absolutely loved having Madeline watch our two pups while we were on vacation! I am guilty of leaving too many instructions sometimes, and she made me feel at ease before and during our time away. She also cleaned the house, washed all linens, and left the house in perfect shape. We’d be honored to have her as a sitter again!”


About: Thanks for stopping by our page. We are a family that loves animals. We love visiting zoos and sanctuaries. Currently, we have one pyredoodle, a fish, and a bearded dragon. This account was created for my son. He is 13 and will be the main caretaker of your fur baby. This is the best way for him to play with lots of animals and more importantly learn responsibility. He has been wonderful and gets so excited every time he learns he'll be pup sitting again. He has 5 consistent repeat clients and loves their fur babies just as he does his brother (our pyredoodle is his brother :) ) Of course, my husband and I will always be supervising.😊 All updates and arrangements are made through me. All earnings go directly to my son. As we aren't on Rover to generate an income our profile may be different from other sitters. Please review the below to ensure we are the right fit for you and your fur baby. *We watch one dog at a time. This is because we want my son to enjoy each and every pup he puppy sits. We want your pup to receive all the love and attention we would want our own pup to receive if we were away. *If you have 2 dogs and one is fairly laid back please message me and to see if we can accommodate your needs. *We don't use kennels unless requested for pets that are already potty-trained *Puppies or dogs not potty trained please bring diapers that have holes for the tails. *Puppies or dogs not potty trained will be kenneled at night if diapers are not available. This is to assist with potty training as it's very important at this age. We have a large crate here we set up for your pup to use. *We do not require a meet and greet if your pup gets along with other animals as we watch one dog at a time and only animals that are friendly with other animals. *We have a pyredoolde born Nov. 2020 who lives inside. He's playful and loves everyone! He is very skittish and submissive to other dogs. The only worry with him is if your dog bullies him he will jump on my lap and he's so big it hurts! lol *WHAT TO BRING Please bring your pup's leash, food bowl, food, and any comfort toys they will need. A brush is great too as we brush our boy every evening and will brush your pup too. - We have learned from previous visits most of the pups arriving prefer to eat and drink out of our dog's food and water bowl. That is fine too! :) *UPDATES I try to text daily updates with a picture usually in the evenings. If it's an extended stay I may do it every other day. Please discuss with me your needs and I'll do my best to accommodate. In short, if your looking for a place your pup can stay and be treated like one of the family we may be the right fit for you. We'll treat your pup just like our own.😊 I work remotely and can easily accommodate most routines. My son goes to an online school and is here to play as soon as he finishes school in the morning. Our yard is fenced in with a vinyl fence. It's almost 1/2 acre. We do let our pup out by himself. If your pup digs under fences or is a Houdini that can climb over a 6ft please let us know. We let your pup stay in the house and roam the same as we do our pup. Also, we do not allow our dog on the furniture. He knows to stay off, but don't make a big deal out of it if your pup is more comfortable while they're with us.

“Natalie was so great! I didn’t have to worry for a second that my dog wasn’t being taken care of. Very kind and obviously cared to make sure everything was going okay. The best, will book again!!! 💖”


“Holli was great with our pup, Leo! She has great communication and is very caring. We did not have any worries while we were away for the weekend and felt confident that Leo was in good hands!”


“Highly recommend. Brianna stayed at our place for over a week and took care of everyone (2 large dogs, 2 cats, fish, houseplants, and the garden). She was easy to communicate with, very responsive, and it was such a relief to have her housesit while we were out of the country. I will book with her again in the future!”
